Present Day

The present day part of ACIV will be changed as Desmond is no longer included, instead the present day hero will be you. You are hired by Abstergo as a Research Analyst to go and relive the life of Desmond's Anscestor Edward Kenway. The player can exit the Animus at anytime and can start exploring Abstergo Industries, if the player explores enough he will find secrets about Abstergo and about the conflict between Assassins and Templars. The Present Day story revolves around you reliving Edward's life and trying to find out what is so important in his life that Abstergo wants to know, as you progess through the story you will soon begin to find answers about all of this. Abstergo will be huge in terms of exploration there will be much content to find and people to interact with, we will have our own work station. The main focus of Present day is exploration and although it is optional Ubi says that if you explore you will find some really cool secrets about everything going on.

By the end of ACIII Desmond sacrificed himself to save the world but released Juno, Juno's main goal is to take over the world. Ubi revealed that Juno is not yet strong enough to take over the world, but there still might be some interaction with Juno. As for Desmond Ubi says that Desmond will not be in ACIV but he will still play a part in the story, how though is not yet revealed.
